They live in a rundown Pittsburgh neighborhood where every day is a struggle. Stuck in low-paying, dead end jobs that will never propel them above the poverty line. But the prostitution racket may just be the ticket to a better life. Before long, everyone is rolling in cash, and living the lifestyle that always seemed just out of their reach. But when a sudden tragedy brings reality knocking, the four friends find themselves in over their heads, and desperate to escape. Ving Rhames, Bijou Phillips, and Danny Masterson star in a gritty urban drama exploring the dark side of the criminal lifestyle.

You know every other crime drama you've ever seen? This is that but worse. From the lame imitation-<i>Goodfellas</i> voice over to the basic story arch, there is nothing new in this film. The four friends are colorless and until the predictable end aren't different enough from one another to make them discernible characters.
Overall, this film is a maudlin, cliched waste of time.
